Yes Ranay! This is a great question! Your slow cooker needs to be 1/2 to 2/3 full to cook properly. So when you have a large slow cooker sometimes you need to either take it 1 1/2 times the recipe or even double in most cases. You can always freeze when you don’t need at the present time. But for what you freeze don’t freeze with the Cashews as they will become soft. Happy Crocking!
